I felt like today was one of our best Sundays yet. Greg and Amanda came up to lead worship. I love listening to a girl lead worship when she can really sing. And Amanda has a great voice.
I finished up the sex series by talking about God's design for sex. Great sex happens at the right time in the right way. The right time is marriage. I know it may not be a popular notion today, and culture may try to convince us differently, but God says sex is a great thing...for marriage. If you're single, then the time is not right. Sex is so beautiful and so wonderful, that it's supposed to be reserved for a marriage relationship. And the right way? In love. Respect and care. There's no Biblical prohibition on positions or stuff like that. If you are married and consenting and acting in love and not involving other sinful junk, then the sky is the limit. Have fun!
Anyway, the podcast will be available here. The message transcript and journey group discussion guide will be available here. And weekly stats and such will be posted here.
There was some good energy in the room today. After church, we grilled some burgers and dogs for our setup team, and just hung out in the parking lot. In a few minutes, I'm headed up to our office for a Newcomers Q&A where I get to talk about the vision of the church and meet some new people.
Then tonight, I am going to sleep. But I may need apply today's message to my life sometime in there. :)
Great blog!! I'll check back often. God bless you and your growing church!
